[Bug classpath/28658] New: whitespace in date confuses SimpleDateFormat parser

[green at redhat dot com]

The following code throws an exception when we parse the second date.  Sun's
implementation can parse both versions.  

import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;

public class j
{
    public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception
    {
        SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss yyyy",
Locale.US);

        System.out.println (sdf.parseObject("Sun Nov 6 08:49:37 1994"));
        System.out.println (sdf.parseObject("Sun Nov  6 08:49:37 1994"));
    }
}
